This could have been a good episode. The basic "stopwatch" story idea should suit the Twilight Zone format perfectly.

So why do I rate it so low?
For one - the voice acting. Lou Diamond Phillips is usually a good voice actor, but here he is just a maniacal, cackling, unlikable idiot. His character may be just that, but Philips makes him so one dimensional, that listening to his cackling monologue for 45 minutes is painful. Supporting cast is not much better (apart for Keach). Hearing the obviously young female actors using baad "old lady voices" makes me cringe.

Was there no producer/director for this episode?

Could have been good. Turned out very unlikable.
